NOTE:
Measurements to strongly reflecting targets such as to traffic lights in infrared mode
should be avoided. The measured distances may be wrong or inaccurate.
When the [MEASURE] (Trigger Key) is triggered, the EDM measures the object
which is in the beam path at that moment.
If e.g. people, cars, animals, swaying branches, etc. cross the laser beam while a
measurement is being taken, a fraction of the laser beam is reflected and may lead to
incorrect distance values.
Avoid interrupting the measuring beam while taking reflectorless measurements or
measurements using reflective foils.
Reflectorless EDM
●Ensure that the laser beams cannot be reflected by any object nearby with high
reflectivity.
●When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object which is in
the beam path at that moment. In case of temporary obstruction (e.g. a passing vehicle,
heavy rain, snow, frog, etc.), the EDM may measure to the obstruction.
●When measuring longer distance, any divergence of the red laser beam from the line of
sight might lead to less accurate measurements. This is because the laser beam might not
be reflected from the point at which the crosshairs are pointing. Therefore, it is
recommended to verify that the R-laser is well collimated with the telescope line of sight.
(Please refer to “10.11 REFLECTORLESS EDM”)
●Do not collimate the same target with the 2 total stations simultaneously.
Accurate measurements to prisms should be made with the standard program (infrared
mode).
Red Laser Distance Measurement Cooperated with Reflective Foils.
The visible red laser beam can also be used to measure to reflective foils. To guarantee the
accuracy the red laser beam must be perpendicular to the reflector foil and it must be well
adjusted (refer to “10.11 REFLECTORLESS EDM”).
Make sure the additive constant belongs to the selected target (reflector).
